maybe im just a grumpy old curmudgeonbut I hate graffiti.
I hate Banksy. I used to work around brick lane and was horrified when he went through an 'ironic porn' phase. He stencilled pornographic images on the walls and shutters of halal butchers, moslem community centres and I seem to remember even the side of Brick Lane mosque.
Some people might think that's funny. Me, I see no difference between Banksy's 'art', and skinheads spraying 'NF' or swastikas. Banksy is a racist and shouldn't be encouraged, let alone have his own exhibition and get fawned over in the Guardian.
Anyway, you're looking for examples, here's a picture I took recently in Llandudno. Not only did these morons deface a brand new kids' roundabout, they're so stupid they can't spell from.

BanksyWhats Racist about spraying porn on a mosque? Surely that is attacking religion? Unless you're assuming that ALL Moslems are of a race different to Banksy's (which they obviously aren't). He may be intolerent towards religion but religion is ideology and any ideology by its very nature must be open to question. I'm not deffending his attack on religion, but it deffinately does not make him racist.

no. it's gratuitously defacing a building in an offensive waythat's not engaging in debate, any more than slashing a rembrandt is.

only cuntsare offended by porn.
I'm offended by mosques. and synagogues, and churches, and temples. I would personally like to see all these encitements to religious zealotry demolished and replaced by Courts Furniture Warehouses. I am sure if the religious all bought nice comfy sofas and had a relaxing sit down (and a cup of tea) there would be a lot less hate in the world.
There's logic in there somewhere.
